The Art of Slow Comedy is a fresh approach to scenic improvisation, based on the idea that before you can be funny, you need to be real. In this first level of Jimmy Carrane’s unique method, you will learn that you don’t have to invent something to be funny; audiences respond to real life situations and performers who are brave enough to be honest. This class is appropriate for those new to improv and seasoned improvisers looking for a new approach.

In this class, you will work on:

Responding emotionally to your scene partner

Using the environment and object work to create powerful scenes

Being authentic and vulnerable on stage

Improvising with all of your emotions, including anger

Developing your unique comedic voice

Playing the reality of a scene

Performing both group and two-person scenes

This class is limited to 14 students. Class will take place on Wednesdays from 6:30-8:30 p.m. from Oct. 31 through Dec. 12 at Green Shirt Studio, 4407 N. Clark St., Chicago. Only $259 if you register by Oct. 17 ($289 after).
